New Members
In KAP Group
At an organization and initiation
meeting Wednesday, seven new
members were admitted into Kappa
Alphi Phi, lower division economic
society.
Vic Scafani, John Lercari, Tom
Farrell, Bill Whitfield, Eli Ellis,
Frank Ballestrieri and Mauri Car-
mody were the students admitted.
Other students are eligible and will
be taken in after Christmas, according to Mr. Strickroth, faculty adviser.
John Mangan was appointed captain of the Kappa Alpha Phi football
team which will compete in the intramural games. The team fielded by
the group last year finished second in
the league standings.
Wednesday, November 3, will be
the date of the next lecture sponsored
by the organization. The speaker has
not been selected as yet but something different in the way of a lecture
it promised the members, according
to Frank Lawson, president
No meeting will be held next week
because of mid-term examinations.
Glee Club
Sings on
KPO Show
Making their first important appearance of the season, members of
the Glee Club were presented on
Radio Station KPO last Sunday in
the Hawthorne House program.
Two numbers were given, "Lights
Out" and the "Victory Song." Following the broadcast, the group held
a dinner in the Venetian Room of
the Dante Building.
Among the honored guests were
Bill Muller, president of the student
body; Mr. Angelo Fusco, director of
music, and Mr. L. Havorka, who
has helped in the formation of the
Glee Club this semester.
Mr. Fusco thanked the members
of the club for the cooperation rendered and Mr. Havorka commended
the group on the excellent progress
made since the beginning of the semester.
Econ Students
Advance Plans
Further work in organizing an upper division economic group was reported by Norton Herold and Gene
Philips yesterday when they announced that the new club constitution will be submitted to a faculty
committee next week.
"We have found great interest
throughout the school in the organization and its purpose, and we intend
to have an election of officers next
week if possible," Herold declared.
Purpose of the club will be to make
the students more familiar with economic and accounting problems.
Herold also admitted that attempts would be made to secure connections with San Francisco business
men and especially with USF alumni
who are in business.
"Discerning students on the hilltop have long felt that our connections with San Francisco commercial
life can be improved. USF's commerce department, especially in the
accounting field, has been improving
steadily," said Herold.
Two Trains to
Transport Don
Excursionists
Seventy-five Already
Signed Up for
Affair
By BILL McWATTERS
Indicating that USF will have the
biggest contingent ever to invade
Los Angeles for a football game,
seventy-five Dons have already
signed up for the Loyola excursion
and scores of others have signified
their intention of making the trip to
the southland next weekend.
Two special trains will carry the
Don rooters and the band to Los
Angeles. Number One will leave
San Francisco from the Third
Street station at 6:15 p. m. next
Friday and arrive in Los Angeles
at 8 o'clock Saturday morning. The
band and the majority of students
will go on this train, which will
afford them an extra day in Los
Angeles.
Departure Time
Train Number Two departs from
San Francisco at 6:15 p. m. Saturday
and reaches Los Angeles on Sunday
morning at 7:33 o'clock. Both sections will leave Los Angeles at 6:15
p. m. Sunday and arrive home at 7:50
a. m. Monday.
Several important factors, which
were missing last year, are influencing this excursion. For those who go
on the first train there will be a USF-
UCLA soccer game on Saturday,
and the Cal-UCLA football game as
well. A comforting thought to have
is that there will be no rush on Monday morning to return to school as
this will be a holiday, All Saints'
Day.
Furnish Transportation
The second largest hotel in Los
Angeles, the Rosslyn, will be
headquarters for the rooters, who
may secure rooms from $1 up. Free
transportation will be furnished
between the station and hotel.
Special busses will run from the
hotel to the Gilmore Stadium and
then to the station, for $1. Low rates
for meals will also prevail at the
hotel.
Reservations should be made as
soon as possible, according to Committee Members Bill Muller, Tom
Casey and John Swanson, who are
accepting applications accompanied
by a deposit of $5. They warn that
the rooters desiring to obtain the low
rates for bus transportation and reservations at the hotel must make all
arrangements at the time rail transportation is purchased.
Give Rates
Round trip fare will amount to
$10.45, and the pullman rates will be
$1.50 for lowers and $1.20 for uppers.
"I urge students who are desirous of attending the game to make
their reservations immediately, as
they are being snapped up so
quickly that late-comers may find
it difficult to obtain passage,"
stated Bill Muller, who is in charge
of the excursion.
"All those who are going should
try to leave on the first train Friday evening, as this will carry most
of the students and also give them
two full days in Los Angeles." he
added.
USF Loyola Guild
Hold Silver Tea
As the first of the social functions
of the University of San Francisco
Loyola Guild, Mrs. Edward A. Keil
received several hundred members
and their friends to her home, to attend a Silver Tea, the proceeds of
which were given to the fund of the
Guild as part of the Autumn activities.
Assisting in the reception of guests
were Mrs. Edward D. Keil, Mrs. Russell Keil, Miss Kathryn I. Sullivan,
Miss Marion Hopper, Miss Edith
Keil, Miss B. Keenan, Mrs. J. Emmet Hayden, Mrs. Wm. Carlin, Mrs.
Wm. Hippeli, Mrs. Edward Neuwald,
Mrs. A. A. Maggini, Mrs. R. W. Cas-
tello, Mrs. Kavanaugh and Mrs. Joseph Martinelli.
ArcherSpeaks
At Law Club
Meeting
Insurance Subject of
Wednesday Night
Discourse
Guest speaker for the St. Ives Law
Club last Wednesday evening was
Mr. James W. Archer, San Francisco
attorney, who spoke to the group on
"Legal Phases of the Insurance Contract." An associate in the law firm
of Knight, Boland and Riordan, Mr.
Archer spoke with authority because
of his specialization in the field of
insurance.
"Insurance has become so tremendously a part of modern life
that companies must constantly be
on their guard against people who
wish to collect on false claims," he
declared.
Goes Into Detail
Mr. Archer went into detail in his
talk to relate how attempts to swindle
insurance companies are constantly
being made in cases of mysterious
disappearances, accidents, murders,
and suicides.
"Hardly a day passes in this
country without some policyholder trying to collect on a claim
which, upon investigation by company lawyers, fails to hold water,"
he said.
Mr. Archer discussed as examples
of his point many recent cases such
as the James "Snake Murder Case,"
and the George Forest Charles and
Schlessinger cases.
Accident Racket
"Life Insurance, of course," he
added, "does not take up all our
time. A very lucrative field for
these crooks is the accident racket.
This is often worked with the aid of
'ambulance chasing' lawyers. It is
usually not difficult for us to pick
out those who are advancing false
claims; the problem is to find some
legal basis for our refusal to pay."
Improve Measures
The recent advances made in the
art of "chiseling" insurances has resulted in a corresponding improvement in the precautions in the measures which the firms take to stop
being cheated, Mr. Archer said.
Admitted as guests of the St. Ives
Law Club were students interested
in economics. This was done because
of the exceptional interest of the subject to economic majors.
Relations Club
Conducts Pre-
Conclave Meets
Members Prepare For
Mills Conference
Next Week
Books Received By
Library Wednesday
Acquisition of approximately 150
new books into the University Library was announced Wednesday by
Miss Lina Zachert, assistant librarian, while reception of subscriptions to six periodicals also was revealed.
The Writer's Magazine, the English periodical, Colosseum; the American Stamp Journal, two French and
one German magazines are now available to the students.
Climaxing one of the most active
weeks in campus club activity, the
International Relations Club will
hold the final parley preceding the
Regional Conference at Mills College next Friday and Saturday, at
noon today.
Definitely mapping plans for approximately half of the participation
the group is expected to engage in at
the all-state convention, last Friday's
meet featured assignments of members to the various round tables to be
featured, the acceptance of the chairmanship of the "Why Peace?" table
by Jack O'Rourke, Relations head,
and the outlining of the present European situation by Mr. Jean Pajus,
faculty adviser.
Joint meetings with other Bay Region schools comprised most of the
action taken during the early part of
this week, with conclaves at the San
Francisco College for Women and
Dominican College.
Conclave Purpose
"The purpose of these meetings,"
declared Walt Pelle, IRC executive committee head, "has been to
arrive at a mutual understanding
of just what is indicated by the
Carnegie outlines of Conference
agenda. We feel that these meetings have the added advantage of
furthering cooperation and improved relations between the various schools, as well as an increased
appreciation of the problems presented by international affairs."
Presidents of both visited schools,
Elaine Parker of SFCW, and Virginia Mazzini of Dominican, and the
Mills College Regional President,
Eleanor Hadley, expressed their
thanks to the USF delegations for
their parts in the meetings, according
to Owen Brady, secretary of the local campus group.
Final assignments for the various
tables, as revealed by club leaders
late yesterday, included the appointment of Harry Duff and Jim Mace on
the "British Foreign Policy and the
Empire" discussion group; Viero DiVita as chief of the table, "Europe
and International Security," with
Walt Castro and George Corona as
assistants; Walt Pelle, chief, assisted by Byron Athan and Charles
O'Gara on "Conflict and Cooperation in the Far East," Paul Pahnke
and Owen Brady on the "Why
Peace?" round table, of which Jack
O'Rourke will be chairman.
The group leaves Friday morning
for the Conference, and will arrive
on the Mills campus about 9 a. m.,
staying over Friday evening, and
completing conference work Saturday afternoon. Other members may
join the group late Friday, after USF
classes have been dismissed, it was
said.

November 23 Set As
Sullivan Contest
Debate Date
For the second consecutive year,
the University of San Francisco will
send John Downes, veteran varsity
debater, to represent it in the annual
Sullivan Memorial Oratorical Contest. Last year's choice, Downes will
appear in competition with the finest
speakers from Loyola, Santa Clara,
and St. Mary's College.
Local contestants who met last
Friday and spoke on the subject
chosen for the contest, the Constitution, were comprised of experienced
speakers, all but one of whom are
members of the varsity debating
squad.
Two Winners
The University of San Francisco
has had two winners of the prize, a
fifty dollar purse, John O'Kane, who
won it in the year of the contest's inception, and Mr. Frank Silva, S.J.,
who is now adviser for the Gavel
squad. Last year's winner, John Alioto, was president of the St. Mary's
College Student Body.
The finals of the contest will be
held this year on November 23, when
the speakers of the four schools meet
to speak on the Constitution of the
United States. The award will be
made on a basis of delivery, diction
and subject matter.
Offer Purse
The contest, which was started in
1929 as a memorial to be held for
Judge Jeremiah J. Sullivan, brother
of the late Judge Matt. I. Sullivan,
offers a purse of fifty dollars to the
best speaker to be chosen from representatives of the four outstanding
Catholic colleges of California.
The contest is to be held November
23 at the Y.M.I. Hall, the contest
being sponsored by the Ignatian
Council, No. .35. Downes will probably be coached for the contest by
Mr. Silva, S.J., who is coaching member of the varsity debate squad, although no definite information has
been received to that effect.
Quarterly
To Appear
In Nov.
Beginning in a burst of glory, the
University of San Francisco Quarterly starts the fall semester with the
first issue of the academic year. The
issue is comprised of articles of an
unprecedented wealth of color and
versatility. Articles covering the
sporting, scientific and international
fields of literature are featured in the
first issue, which for the first time is
to be released to public sale.
This unusual move caused the editorial board of the Quarterly, which
is expected to appear in the opening
week of November, to discard the
former date mark, and to place in its
stead the title of Fall, Spring and
Summer issues.
Peradotto Writes
The usual divisions are to be employed in the forthcoming copy of
fiction, non-fiction and poetry. The
first is represented by a short story
by Louis Peradotto. Peradotto, one
of the three editors of the magazine,
contributes the only fiction article of
the issue.
Non-fiction is well represented
with articles from both faculty and
student sources. Although the
complete list is not as yet available, articles to appear are: England in the Mediterranean, by Dr.
Jean Pajus; the Influence of Arabic Science in Education, by C. M.
Gorman; Personality, by Dr. Arthur Fearon; the Comic Situations
in Opera.
Others Scheduled
Other articles scheduled for publication are: An article on Boxing, by
Jim Mace; an article on Architecture,
and an article, presenting a serious
problem of modern law, "Are Crim-

School Record on

Returns announced last Monday
by the State Board of Bar Examiners
disclosed the fact that fifteen graduates of the University of San Francisco Law School successfully passed
the September examinations.
Following is the list of successful
graduates, all of whom passed on
their first examination: Albert
Lester Buchner, George Charles
Chadwick, Jr., William Thompson
Dunbar, James A. Gaughran,
Theodore Groezinger, George W.
Hippeli, Maurice Hyman, James
Matthew McGinty, Thomas V.
Maloney, Hugh Miller, Wesley
Francis Murray, Thomas Martin
O'Connor, Albert Theodore Suter,
and Horace A. Weller III. Word
was also received that Theodore P.
Niedermuller, a graduate of the
1936 class, successfully passed the
examination.
Record Higher
Although the percentage of success
on the part of all who took the examination dropped substantially, the
record of University of San Francisco
School of Law students was considerably higher than their average
for the past three years. Ratings of
USF students were much higher than
the averages for other schools.
An increase of approximately 5
per cent over last year was registered in the number of successful
students. As a result of the examination, the Law School's three year
cumulative average rose approximately 12 per cent.
Reflects Climb
Said Dean Charles H. Kinnane of
the Law School: "The returns of
this examination have been extremely gratifying both to me
and to the members of the law
school faculty. They reflect the
upward climb that began in 1935
when the students trained in the
Law School after its reorganization a few years ago began taking the State Examinations. The
University and the Law School
extend their most hearty congratulations to the successful examinees."
Rising Tendency
Steady improvement in the results
of the Law School began about three
years ago when the school was reorganized and steps were taken to
provide for a full time faculty. Averages made by graduates taking the
Bar examinations have, with few exceptions, shown a rising tendency
since that time. Despite this improvement, the administration of the
Law School is not satisfied as yet
with the ratings achieved by its students, according to Dean Kinnane,
and will continue to aim for higher
examination ratings next spring.

appear in competition with the finest
speakers from Loyola, Santa Clara,

has had two winners of the prize, a
fifty dollar purse, John O'Kane, who
won it in the year of the contest's inception, and Mr. Frank Silva, S.J.,
who is now adviser for the Gavel
squad. Last year's winner, John Alioto, was president of the St. Mary's
College Student Body.
The finals of the contest will be
held this year on November 23, when
the speakers of the four schools meet
to speak on the Constitution of the
United States. The award will be
made on a basis of delivery, diction
and subject matter.
Offer Purse
The contest, which was started in
1929 as a memorial to be held for
Judge Jeremiah J. Sullivan, brother
of the late Judge Matt. I. Sullivan,
offers a purse of fifty dollars to the
best speaker to be chosen from representatives of the four outstanding
Catholic colleges of California.
The contest is to be held November
23 at the Y.M.I. Hall, the contest
being sponsored by the Ignatian
Council, No. .35. Downes will probably be coached for the contest by
Mr. Silva, S.J., who is coaching member of the varsity debate squad, although no definite information has
been received to that effect.
Quarterly
To Appear
In Nov.
Beginning in a burst of glory, the
University of San Francisco Quarterly starts the fall semester with the
first issue of the academic year. The
issue is comprised of articles of an
unprecedented wealth of color and
versatility. Articles covering the
sporting, scientific and international
fields of literature are featured in the
first issue, which for the first time is
to be released to public sale.
This unusual move caused the editorial board of the Quarterly, which
is expected to appear in the opening
week of November, to discard the
former date mark, and to place in its
stead the title of Fall, Spring and
Summer issues.
Peradotto Writes
The usual divisions are to be employed in the forthcoming copy of
fiction, non-fiction and poetry. The
first is represented by a short story
by Louis Peradotto. Peradotto, one
of the three editors of the magazine,
contributes the only fiction article of
the issue.
Non-fiction is well represented
with articles from both faculty and
student sources. Although the
complete list is not as yet available, articles to appear are: England in the Mediterranean, by Dr.
Jean Pajus; the Influence of Arabic Science in Education, by C. M.
Gorman; Personality, by Dr. Arthur Fearon; the Comic Situations
in Opera.
Others Scheduled
Other articles scheduled for publication are: An article on Boxing, by
Jim Mace; an article on Architecture,
and an article, presenting a serious
problem of modern law, "Are Crim-

Returns announced last Monday
by the State Board of Bar Examiners
disclosed the fact that fifteen graduates of the University of San Francisco Law School successfully passed
the September examinations.
Following is the list of successful
graduates, all of whom passed on
their first examination: Albert
Lester Buchner, George Charles
Chadwick, Jr., William Thompson
Dunbar, James A. Gaughran,
Theodore Groezinger, George W.
Hippeli, Maurice Hyman, James
Matthew McGinty, Thomas V.
Maloney, Hugh Miller, Wesley
Francis Murray, Thomas Martin
O'Connor, Albert Theodore Suter,
and Horace A. Weller III. Word
was also received that Theodore P.
Niedermuller, a graduate of the
1936 class, successfully passed the
examination.
Record Higher
Although the percentage of success
on the part of all who took the examination dropped substantially, the
record of University of San Francisco
School of Law students was considerably higher than their average
for the past three years. Ratings of
USF students were much higher than
the averages for other schools.
An increase of approximately 5
per cent over last year was registered in the number of successful
students. As a result of the examination, the Law School's three year
cumulative average rose approximately 12 per cent.
Reflects Climb
Said Dean Charles H. Kinnane of
the Law School: "The returns of
this examination have been extremely gratifying both to me
and to the members of the law
school faculty. They reflect the
upward climb that began in 1935
when the students trained in the
Law School after its reorganization a few years ago began taking the State Examinations. The
University and the Law School
extend their most hearty congratulations to the successful examinees."
Rising Tendency
Steady improvement in the results
of the Law School began about three
years ago when the school was reorganized and steps were taken to
provide for a full time faculty. Averages made by graduates taking the
Bar examinations have, with few exceptions, shown a rising tendency
since that time. Despite this improvement, the administration of the
Law School is not satisfied as yet
with the ratings achieved by its students, according to Dean Kinnane,
and will continue to aim for higher
examination ratings next spring.
